This isn't right. Look at iphone! Very slick, simple and easy, much
more so then Newton Actually.

It's true that some of Apple's recent products lack well thought out/
tested user interfaces, but they are still doing a great job, and
iphone is proof positive that they are years of the competition in
this area.

Take a good look at Zune and it's associated software if you want
something to complain about.
